Latest Patents

The listed patent, “Method and Apparatus for Detecting Damage of Battery Separator,” describes an apparatus for identifying separator damage in a secondary battery. The method applies voltage while pressing an electrode assembly made of stacked positive and negative electrode plates separated by a separator. This pressure can induce a temporary short circuit if the separator is damaged.

The apparatus includes a short-circuit measuring unit that applies voltage to the electrode assembly and detects leakage current. A pressing jig either roll-presses at least one surface of the assembly or presses predetermined regions in sequence. These features provide a way to detect separator damage through electrical measurements during controlled mechanical pressure.

Career Highlights

Hoon Min’s listed invention focuses on battery safety and inspection. By combining voltage application, leakage-current detection, and mechanical pressing, the patented approach is designed to identify separator damage in an electrode assembly.
